it's about the little things

under the weather

UPDATE: After a quick trip to the MinuteClinic, it was confirmed that I have strep throat. Yay… Happy Halloween?

As you might have guessed by the title of this post I am not feeling to great. For the past three days my throat has felt like it’s on fire; I’ve been achey and chilled; and I’m pretty sure last night I had a fever. Sorry for the details… Having a sore throat is possibly the worst kind of sickness – you can’t eat, drink, talk or swallow. Tell me, how am I supposed to survive without doing those things?

Luckily, I think what I have right now is just an extreme version of a cold as the pain seems to be moving up into my head and sinuses (TMI again?). I figured, while I’m laying in bed doing nothing I might as well write a post for all the other people out there who may be suffering like me. I’ve come up with 10 things that always help me (and hopefully you too!) feel a little bit better. If nothing else, it helps pass the time. Being sick is lonely, lengthy, and, oh I’ll just say it, sucky. Here’s to getting through seasonal viruses!
